Dream Harbor books can be read as standalones • Cozy romantic mystery • HEA guaranteed

A world-renowned chef. A small town that needs him. A live-in nanny who’s absolutely not trying to fall for her gorgeous new boss—especially when he’s cooking pancakes topless right across the hall. The Strawberry Patch Pancake House is cozy, swoony, and warm like a fresh stack on a Sunday morning… with a dash of spice and a side of found family.

The vibe

Archer is a celebrated chef and a single dad who never planned on trading big-city prestige for a small-town pancake restaurant—but Dream Harbor needs a new chef, and Archer needs a community to help raise his daughter, Olive.

Iris can’t seem to keep a job longer than a few months, so the idea of becoming a live-in nanny should send her running. Instead, she ends up stepping into a whole new life—one where “strictly professional” gets complicated fast when your boss is charming, close by, and way too comfortable in his own kitchen.
